No Bond In Killing Of Ex-mayoral Hopeful

December 06, 1985

A Criminal Court judge ordered a 19-year-old man held without bond Thursday in connection with the slaying of William Markowski, a Chicago Transit Authority bus driver and 1983 mayoral candidate. Authorities identified the man as James Mackey, 6838 S. Hermitage Ave. Assistant State`s Atty. Dan Jordan told Judge Francis Gembala that a man allegedly refused Markowski`s advances, jumped on him and stabbed him. He then tied up Markowski and robbed his North Side apartment, where Markowski`s body was found Sunday, Jordan said. Mackey`s case was continued to Dec. 19.
